...Explaining a concept: Website migration project Name Course Instructor Date Website Migration Project In this current era, every business is going online, and most of the selling and buying of goods and services is being done n online. That is why Tony chips should also have a website where it can be able to advertize its business and reach many customers. This paper will cover the steps and requirements on how Tony chips will transfer web hosting from an external source to internal as well as how to make their website redundant. In the efforts to build that redundant and scalable website, the key principles of availability, performance, reliability, scalability, manageability and cost require much attention (Matsudaira, 2012). Also, the SDLC must be duly followed as it is the requirement of any system. These are systems planning, system analysis, system design, system implementation, and lastly system support/security (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2012). System Planning In this phase, the familiarization of the processes involved and objectives of the business must be well highlighted. A formal business plan needs to be in place to show which operations the company will undertake. There is a need to know all participants in the whole migration process and the time when they will you require then in the migration process. As the one of the requirements is that the website needs to be hosting should be internal, it means that a server there is a server requirement. Besides that...

...Web architecture refers to the structure or the organization of a website. It involves the description of the ways in which different pages relate to each other and also ensures that the information is organized in a predictable and consistent way in every page. In order to build the web architecture, the system analyst should into the company’s business needs, and come up with a clear statement of the goals. As there is an already existing old site running, it is crucial that the analyst understands the business and its technological issues involving the implementation of the project. Since we have an already running Tony’s chips website, it is important to gather the existing functional requirements of the website. The system analyst can get information from the employees of the old company; gather system documentation, production support and also using Fact finding techniques. On gathering this information the system analyst should make a decision on whether to go for a packed solution or develop the software in-house. If we decide to go for in-house development of the website, I recommend that we use; Apache as the web server, JEE as the language to develop the website, Linux as the Operating System and MYSQL for the database of the website. Since MYSQL, Apache and Linux are all open sources the company needs not to worry about their licenses and also by writing the software in Java helps us to deploy the code on any platform and the fact that it is not difficult to find...

...Term Paper Website Migration CIS University 09/07/15 Tony’s Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired me to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. Therefore, the site will be redesigned so that customers will be able to place orders through the website and have them delivered as before. The design of the new system will be able to provide more data storage, faster retrieval, better security features and recovery solutions in the event that the website has any problems. With the operational reliability of the existing system, this will make it easier to improve the new system. The first part of the project goal is to discuss what it will take to build the web architecture, then what will have to be done to move the existing Website with minimal downtime, and then provide a disaster recovery plan in the event that the website should crash or stop working. In order to build the architecture, migrate the existing website along with adding the ability for the customers to place orders online and providing for redundancy of the site the system development life cycle (SDLC) will be used. The SDLC consists of five phases that will be utilized in this project and the five phases are systems planning, systems analysis...

I will also state the necessary steps to support the company’s migration from external to internal hosting. With the overall goal being to allow the customer the ability to order products in this case being a bag of chips from the website. Data migration will occur over a two week period with charts and diagrams to show the steps and timeline to accomplish the necessary tasks. The company is very concerned with redundant systems to ensure that there is no more than 5 minutes of down time in any given 365 day period. With web hosting fees going down over the past several years, it makes little sense for a business to host their own web site on their own computers. Web hosting companies do a large volume business it only makes sense to allow them to host for and it is cheaper than trying to do it yourself. The Advantages of using a web hosting company include but are not limited to, studies show that self-hosted site are down on the average two weeks a year. While outside web hosting companies boast an amazing 99.9 % uptime, and as a business you know that every minute your site is down you are...

There is a need to follow the system development life cycle (SDLS) for it to be successful and have transformational effect on the company’s operation (Klein, S. 2007). If there is redundancy in the site of the company, some measures should be carried out to ensure that it functions well to serve the company’s information needs. There should be a back-up site available as a failover in case the main site goes down. There is also a need for the site to be redesigned to allow customers to order products online. The system development life cycle (SDLS) is involves seven phases or steps that are followed in developing an information system from conception up to disposition. The following is the seven-step phase of developing an information system by a software engineer: 1. Conceptual Planning 2. Planning and Requirements Definition 3. System design 4. Development and Testing 5. Implementation phase 6. Operations and Maintenance phase 7.

...Website Migration – Tony’s Chips Website Migration – Tony’s Chips With Tony's Chips being purchased by the Acme Company, they would like a new change the way the website is used for the business. The old method was an externally hosted site with no online ordering options. The new website plan is for it to be redesigned to allow for online ordering, onsite web hosting, and site redundancy to allow for maximum uptime. What they are asking for is called the system development life cycle (SDLC). Systems development life cycle is defined as "activities and functions that systems developers typically perform, regardless of how those activities and services fit a particular methodology” (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2011). The systems development life cycle contains the following steps in the model: required analysis, testing, implementation, documentation, deployment, and maintenance. Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available. The new web architecture is a complete change from the previous implementation of the site causing an entirely new template and architecture. Previous setup used manual ordering, so they would have to call in or physically come in to order the chips. The new architecture will allow for online ordering that will free up more user time in answering phones taking orders. I am assuming the previous network architecture is...

...Learning Team B - Week 3 Assignment Learning Team B - Week 3 Assignment Kudler’s Fine Foods – Current Website Taking in consideration the basic concept of the current Kudler’s Fine Foods web site design, it is recommended the implementation of an e-commerce module or platform without having to drastically change the content of the current design. E-commerce is not being used by Kudler yet, even though there is great opportunity to include an interface that can potentially help upsell the current inventory of goods not only to the local area but also to the rest of the United States. The current site is designed using ASP, which is an older version of the ASP.NET language developed by Microsoft. While the site uses ASP, it does not serve any type of dynamic content, web application or web service, which can easily help start the migration of the current content to HTML5, along with a small implementation of animation if requested. Proposed Prototype for Kudler’s Web Site Based on the above recommendations, the prototype of the Kudler’s web site e-commerce will have a front-end developed using HTML and CSS for structure consistency. The basic theme of the site, including colors and fonts will be maintained in order to provide users with a newer, yet familiar interface. No external plug-ins will be used to run animations if the requirements need it. No Java, Adobe Flash or ActiveX will be used in the elaboration of the site in order to avoid proprietary technology...

Phillips Strayer University September 15, 2013 Website Migration Project for Tony’s Chips Building the Web Architecture In order to build the web architecture, the system analyst would be required to analyse the business requirements of the organization and then develop a clear statement of goals of the organization. Since, the old site of the company is running it would be vital to understand the technological and business related issues associated with the previous website. Along, with that it should also be determined whether the IT staffs of the company possesses necessary experience and skills essential for the implementation of the project. The company might have to consider additional resources, training programs, and hiring of consultants for the project’s success (Nelson et.al, 2010). The project should be developed on a modular manner so the users can approve and test the various functional elements of the website. Since the Tony’s Chips website was already operating, it would be essential for the developer to gather the existing functional requirements for the website. During the data collection process the system analyst will conduct interviews of the people from the product support department, and they will gather the system documentation using the fact finding techniques (McArdle et.al, 2010). Once all the requirements are fulfilled the next step would...

...Exercises: 1. Companies that sell luxury goods such as Channel, Lilly Pulitzer, and Vera Wang, were reluctant to offer their products for sale on their web sites for many years. These businesses preferred to use their Web sites to display information about their products only and to sell their products only through exclusive retail stores. Summarize the reasons these luxury good producers might have been hesitant to sell online and speculate why they might have changed their thinking. These high-end luxury item sellers were reluctant to sell their products online because, the need of the individuals to pay a close inspection to the quality of the products. People couldn’t touch items like and jewelry to inspect them closely. My speculation of why these business have change their mind is that, as more people spend more time online they gain trust on the transactions they make online; Also, higher resolution screens in computers help customers to have a broader idea of the quality/ condition of the items they are buying. 2.
